Notes: A riveting adventure story, a geopolitical tour de force about the year he spent in Nigeria on a Fulbright Scholarship, exploring the West African oil frontier, dubbed the new Middle East of American energy security and an extremely dangerous place.

His base was Port Harcourt - the same malarial swamp where disease and attacks from jealous warriors once killed the British and where now a second generation of warlords blow up Chevron pipelines to steal the oil and militants kidnap oil workers. Dan traveled alone around the swamps, befriending the militants, warlords, diplomats, activists and prostitutes. Even the U.S. ambassador sought him out to find out what was going on. And, indeed, he contracted malaria.

Dan acts all the characters in his story, except himself. We hear the characters speak to him, just as he heard them - he wants us to experience it as he did, in all its intensity and hilarity. For although its not a comedy, it's often very funny.
